Number 1… Number 2… Now shift to Number 3…

The motorized toilet from the Nitro Circus Live show is officially the fastest porcelain beauty on the planet, achieving the Guinness World Record for the world’s fastest toilet after hitting 75 km/hr (47 mph) outside Allphones Arena in Sydney, Australia on Wednesday, May 2.

Rider Jolene Van Vugt, a veteran of the rambunctious stunt crew, was impressed with the feat, which she achieved on a vehicle that’s little more than a toilet bowl affixed to a gas-powered go-kart. No seatbelts, by the way.

“I’ve broken Guinness World Records before,” she told the Sydney Morning Herald (she was the first female to backflip a full-sized dirtbike ramp-to-ramp, among other record-breaking stunts), “but I never thought I’d be the fastest toilet rider in the world.”

Van Vugt broke the record previously set by Edd China, who hit a speed of 42 mph last March in Milan, Italy.
